VMware vSAN HCI multi-cloud setup keeps ambulance airbound

For Angel MedFlight, keeping its IT operations running can be a matter of life and death.Angel MedFlight, based in Scottsdale, Ariz., transports patients by a Learjet fleet of medical aircraft to hospitals throughout the world. Angel MedFlight flight coordinators must be available at all times, and each aircraft has a medical crew aboard. The air ambulance company relies on a multiple cloud setup and data centers in Texas and Colorado to keep communications open at all times. Angel MedFlight developed its own application on top of Salesforce that connects to AWS S3, and relies on a VMware vSAN-powered hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) running on Hewlett Packard ProLiant servers for on-premises compute and storage. Angel MedFlight uses Cisco CallManager for call centers.
